Over Halloween weekend, on Friday, October 30, at 8:00 p.m., the Boston Pops and conductor Keith Lockhart, in collaboration with Berklee, bring the classic 1922 silent horror film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror to the Symphony Hall stage with a completely new symphonic score for one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of the 20th century. The concert marks the first time in the history of the Boston Pops to perform the score to a full-length silent film.
For this special event, eight of Berklee's finest student film composers will write a full-length symphonic score to the film. The Boston Pops, under the direction of conductor Keith Lockhart, will perform the score, which already features less-common instruments like the theramin and a vintage synthesizer panel, to accompany a projection of this iconic film. The composers, all students in Berklee's Scoring Silent Films course taught by Sheldon Mirowitz (Outside Providence, Missing in America), who also leads the Berklee Silent Film Orchestra, are: Amit Cohen (Israel), Wani Han (South Korea), Emily Joseph (United States), Victor Kong (Malaysia), Matthew Norris (Canada), Hyunsoo Nam (South Korea), Elena Nezhelskaya (Russia), and Joy Ngiaw Jin Yi (Malaysia).
Nosferatu is universally acknowledged not only as the greatest silent horror film, but also as one of the most influential films of all time, so creating a full symphonic score to this iconic cinematic masterpiece is definitely a daunting undertaking, said Keith Lockhart, conductor of the Boston Pops. We at the Boston Pops are excited to embark on this new landmark collaboration with Berklee College of Music, as it will be the most significant project in Boston Pops history in the area of presenting student-composed work. The Nosferatu film score project also brings a unique opportunity for students to participate in the rehearsal process and for me to join in the classroom experience on a whole new level of creative involvement. Our hope is to offer a new dimension to the film for fans of Nosferatu and to introduce this amazing motion picture to movie lovers who might not otherwise be aficionados of the silent film genre. Those who love film music will appreciate how the silent genre makes the score even more essential the music conveys not just mood and atmosphere, but the narrative of the film. And the timing couldn't be better setting the mood for a perfectly fantastic Halloween in 2015.
The concert presents a new take on a relatively recent Boston Pops tradition of presenting movies at Symphony Hall with lush soundtracks performed live by the virtuosic musicians of the Boston Pops and Boston Symphony. The presentation is part of the Signature Series at Berklee, in addition to being a featured event on the Boston Pops calendar.
